— Boston Globe[An] engaging read.
— Entertainment Weekly" I read romances for relaxation. Reading over and over about extreme child abuse is not relaxing at all. If not that the story would be quite enjoyable. "
— Agnes, 1/13/2018" Awesome book, to start a new series. "
— Vickie, 5/22/2011" I enjoyed this book, as I have all of her books, but it doesn't grab me as much as most of her Dark Hunter books do--probably because I like the fantasy genreso much. "
— Deb, 5/8/2011" If you have never heard or read the League Series you eed to be slapped. Get these books ASAP, I promise you will never regret it. Nyk and Syn are absolutely amazing and you'll fall in love with them just like I did. "
— Cheyenne, 4/26/2011" I haven't read much in the science fiction sector, but Kenyon sure peaked my interest with her futuristic world and characters. I look forward to reading more in "The League" series. "
— Alison, 4/17/2011" I absolutely loved this book! I had to get the next two after that. I'd read them all within a week! "
— Manda, 4/17/2011" Loved the hero but I'm a sucker for guys who are big, scary and bad but all warm and fuzzy inside. The heroine fluctuated from likeable to whiny and naive then to tolerable at the end. I'll be continuing the series with Syn's book next. "
